Ai Yori Aoshi, Volume 2

Three months has pass since the beautiful Aoi went away back to her home to get things set up so both Kaoru (her first love) and her could live together in harmony. The second when she arrived, things feel "normal" again for Kaoru and when they arrived back to his apartment they had the shock of his life. He was robbed! Well actually, no. Turned out Miyabi-san moved all of his things to their new home. Miyabi-san would be patroning their (well Kaoru's especially) every move and she eye his every mistakes for the chance to him lectures. There's a couple of new characters in this volume who join in living with them, Tina (an American girl with a perverted sense of humor) and Taeko (Kaoru's geeky friend who cleans the house on hire by Miyabi-san - after she got herself fired from the other job) Kaoru and Aoi gets to know each other more and the attraction between them are obvious - other than the obvious illustration of adult humor portray. but of course living with company means, people barging into the room when they were just getting into the moment. This volume is full with beautiful artwork drawings equip with great adult humor dialog and adult scenes. Great plot and awesome read. I've really enjoyed this one.

do you rember your first love? how it felt:) this is another cute story and its all about how one young girl fell in love. but the man left. she is willing to give up everything just to have him as her husband, she goes as far as to shame her family and ditch everything. it has very funny parts, and some of it is a little risky so i would say 16 and under not alloud to read, but other than some parts its very giddy giddy happy good no great manga

In this second volume of the True Blue Love manga Aoi and Kaoru find themselves being moved into a Western style house. The idea is that nobody will know about their relationship because it might cause a scandal. The logic is flawed - when they get married won't there also be a scandal? Well, their problem is that they're not alone - Miyabi-san is there to act as a chaperone. Soon Tina, an American-born Japanese-raised college student, has moved into also, believing that Aoi is just the landlady and Kaoru is just renting a room.Taeko soon joins them (having been fired from her other job) and is soon both cleaning and breaking up the house. In other words the boarding house idea back-fires.Will the couple EVER get together? When will the families allow them to marry? Can you have TOO many nude scenes in bath houses?This volume seems to cover a lot of ground and a fan of the anime will notice it seems much shorter than the DVDs. Much of the plot elements are spread out over many of the anime's episodes, DVD 2,3 & 4, in fact. This is because the anime came AFTER the manga, so the TV series added fillers that ADDED to the plot without slowing it down.The manga is for 16 and up, being a tad more mature in both scenes and humor than the anime, and a fan of the anime would enjoy the slight difference in the details.I plan to get the third volume, yes I DO!

The story takes a dramatic shift in tone with "Ai Yori Aoshi - Book 2." The intimate, romantic love story of Aoi and Kaoru is thrown into disarray, as Kaoru moves into the Sakuraba mansion, under the watchful eye of Miyabi. Introduced into the mix are the crazed American, Tina Foster, and the naive classmate and photo-club member Taeko Minazuki coming on hand as an incompetent maid. Hijinks ensue.Fortunately, even with the introduction of wacky characters, the focus of the story stays on Aoi and Kaoru, who now must continue their shy courtship in the face of Tina's wild drinking parties, Miyabi watching every move, and Taeko stumbling into every corner. In a way, the cast becomes much like the Disney cast, with Aoi and Kaoru being the good-hearted Mickey and Minnie, with Goofy (Taeko) and Donald (Tina) causing all sorts of trouble. The additional cast members are good foils for the wholesome two-some.The editorial reviews seem to place a big emphasis on "fan service," but I find this not to be the case. "Ai Yori Aoshi" is one of the sweetest comics I have read, and the story stays true to the heart of its main characters, Aoi and Kaoru and never degenerates into a panty-fest.

this is the first series i have started in my new found fandom of the anime/manga world, and i love this series. Its funny, sexy, and a good story overall. In this, the second installment of the series, we find that three months have passed since Aoi and Kaoru have last seen each other. Aoi has gotten permission to stay with kaoru, but when they reach his house all his stuff is gone. A note tells him to go to a certain adress that just happens to be a summer home of the Sakuraba family, and who is waiting for them. None other than Miyabi. Miyabi puts out flyers that the mansion is a new appartment complex and is looking for tenants and Kaoru is forced to sleep in the servants quarters while his new girlfreind, Aoi, stays with Miyabi in the mansion. Things start to heat up when a friend and classmate of Kaoru, Tina Foster (an american raised in Japan), moves in with them. Soon they are joined by another classmate, i forgot her name, who is beautiful, kind, and downright clutzy. She comes seeking a job as a Maid and barely passes the tests Miyabi gives her. overall I thought that this manga was just great and i would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Romanc/Coemdy manga.
